Black sheep is as beautiful as white sheep.
According African-American Civil rights activist Al-Haj Malik Al-Shabbaz (Malcolm X), Words like "Black sheep", Black Money"' Black Market, Black Mail, Black out, Black magic" etc., are all used by racist Europeans (whites)to degrade Africans (Blacks)who have been treated like animals and sold in markets as slaves.
These words came in to existence only after Europeans started slavery business.
White men wear black clothes a "sign of mourning" is also a part of their wicket design. (Unfortunately Christian Afro-American do wear black clothes while they attending funerals)
Black as colour of skin is as beautiful as White. As our beloved Prophet said in his Farewell Hajj sermon that, "All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have any superiority over a white except by piety and good action".
Therefore we Muslims should avoid using words/phrase like “Karuppu Aadu (Black Sheep) etc.
